Harrisonburg DUI Lawyer Bob Keefer: Virginia's intoxilyzer 5000 gave a documented False Positive

Virginia is now or will soon be replacing its “dated, unstable and unreliable” Intoxilyzer 5000s.

Virginia’s Department of Forensic Science has always maintained to the public that these gadgets will know they are making a mistake and not give an incorrect result.

In other words, a perfect machine that never makes mistakes!

That of course, is impossible; there is no perfect machine.

Internally, the Department of Forensic Science complains about increasing instrument failures and its inability to find replacement parts.

In any event, in July, 2008 a suspect was tested on SN68-001998, the Intoxilyzer 5000 in the Rockingham County, Virginia Sheriff’s Department.

The breath test result was .60 BAC. 

Two hours and two minutes the subject’s blood test showed her true BAC, 0.00; no alcohol whatsoever.

The ultimate False Positive.  These gadgets are dated, unstable and unreliable just like the Department of Forensic Science has been saying since 2005.
